swing
up
and
down
the
body
of
the
Violin
like
a
small
slender
hummingbird
Just a bundle of wood
and string but when played
it is as light as air and with a voice
so clear it might as well be human,
the bow coaxes out the notes
and makes them sing
oddly in tune,
a perfect C#
Some songs making you
weep with sadness, or overflow with
joy, needing no other instrument
to harmonize, it makes you forget
that such a human could
make a strong and
fragile thing
